Last week I discussed watching the bullishness of the shorter cycles to gauge the general health of the market. The 40-day trough was due early this week, and the US markets continued to beat a perfect rhythm as they formed a small trough on Monday, which was most probably the […]
The markets have been behaving very well in cyclic terms, finding support this week at the 20-day FLD as expected. We are now expecting price to drop down through that FLD to form a 40-day cycle trough next week, as can be seen in this chart of the S&P 500 […]
